Andrew K. Lee, M.D., MPH, Medical Director of the Texas Center for Proton Therapy, joined Good Morning Texas to break down how proton therapy is changing what's possible for cancer patients — delivering precise treatment that protects the people you love most.

"A cancer diagnosis can often cause burdens not only on the patient but also their loved ones. If we can treat tumors more precisely and minimize exposure to normal tissues, that can translate to decreased side effects, during and after treatment." – Dr. Andrew K. Lee

Colore**al cancer isn't just a disease of older adults anymore — more people under 50 are being diagnosed than ever before. Early detection saves lives, and when treatment is needed, proton therapy is giving patients new options.

Why proton therapy?
- Can treat re**al cancers as part of a comprehensive regimen with chemotherapy and/or surgery.
- May effectively treat colon cancer that has spread to the liver, lungs, lymph nodes, and bone.
- Offers a safer option for patients needing repeat treatment after prior radiation, surgery, and/or chemotherapy.
- Precisely targets tumors while minimizing radiation exposure to healthy organs like the bowel, bladder, and genitalia.
- May mean fewer side effects, less severe health risks, and lower risk of secondary cancers years after treatment.

Whether it's local re**al cancer or metastatic colon cancer, proton therapy can help protect quality of life while effectively treating the disease.

What if cancer treatment could be both more effective AND easier on your body?

A major study in The Lancet shows that's exactly what proton therapy could offer eligible head and neck cancer patients. During proton therapy, some patients experienced:
✓ Reduced feeding tube dependence
✓ Better weight maintenance
✓ Improved swallowing and chewing function
✓ Greater work productivity

Patients who received proton therapy had a reported 90% survival rate at 5 years, compared to 81% for those treated with traditional radiation. This indicates that proton therapy may be an important option to consider for cancer treatment.

Groundbreaking news for head and neck cancer treatment 🎗️

A landmark study in The Lancet has provided data-backed evidence supporting proton therapy as an important treatment option for head and neck cancers — and the results are remarkable.

This Phase III trial of 440 patients across 21 U.S. sites found a true "win-win": 90% of proton therapy patients alive at 5 years vs. 81% with traditional treatment — the first study to show both reduced side effects AND improved survival.
